As summer winds down and a new school year begins, give your tween the opportunity to slow down, connect, and build confidence from the inside out. Join local mama Allison Gold Russell for an afternoon of yoga, creativity, and connection designed for tweens ages 8–12. Together, we'll explore movement, mindfulness, stress-management tools, and a hands-on craft that encourages self-expression, confidence, and self-love as participants navigate the emotions and transitions of the back-to-school season. The afternoon begins with conversation and community-building, flows into an energizing yoga practice, and concludes with a meaningful craft to take home. Caregivers are encouraged to enjoy a little time for themselves - stay nearby and explore all that downtown Ambler has to offer! The classroom experience will be for tweens only! No prior yoga experience is necessary. Please bring a yoga mat, water bottle, and a nut-free snack. Please note: To help everyone stay present and connected, this is a tech-free event. Please leave smartphones and smartwatches at home. Allison Gold Russell is a 200-hour certified yoga instructor with a 25-hour children's yoga certification from Next Generation Yoga. She is passionate about building children’s confidence, cultivating joy, and practicing mindfulness through yoga in a welcoming, supportive environment that equips them with the tools to thrive in today's world. Inspired by her experiences as a mother to two daughters, Eden + Ida, Allison is passionate about bringing yoga to this population through this offering. Cancellation Policy: No refunds 14 days prior to workshop.
